Something big might be brewing behind the scenes for the US Open 2026. Just hours after reporting a possible boycott being considered on the circuit, with Jannik Sinner purportedly involved, it now makes more sense as a pressure tactic to ensure the organizers of the US Open 2026 meet the players' demands.

Serena Williams and Venus Williams are open to competing in the mixed doubles tournament proposed by the New York Grand Slam, pairing up with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, respectively. Negotiations are in full swing to make this happen, while it's already confirmed that the Williams sisters will team up at Wimbledon 2026, having received an official invitation.

This has sparked enormous media interest in the mixed doubles tournament with a reduced competitive format that would take place the week before the main event. Last year's edition was a great success and brought significant benefits to the USTA, giving players leverage in demanding a minimum 16% increase in prize money compared to the previous edition.

The possibility of these negotiations for the Williams sisters and Sincaraz playing mixed doubles not coming to fruition due to a potential boycott by the Italian, will put the organizers on high alert, potentially prompting them to not hold back on meeting the financial improvements demanded to ensure this spectacle happens.
